Mick is a printmaker and studied at Ravensbourne College of Art, England. (Fine Art BA Hons). He exhibits in the UK and abroad, and has won several major awards. He has a wide experience of teaching printmaking on art courses at many levels in Further and Higher Education. He was Art Co-ordinator for East Kent Adult Education and Head of HND Fine Art at Canterbury College. He has undertaken several Artist in Residence posts in schools and has also run INSET art courses in Printmaking for teachers.

Mick has an extensive knowledge of traditional printmaking, and has also innovated and developed many new printmaking processes.  ‘I work mainly in print and drawing, using a variety of materials and processes. I don’t really consider myself a printmaker in the traditional sense, but rather someone who uses the methodology, techniques and materials of the print process together with drawing and photographic print.’ Recent work includes mono print, dry point, and screen print, using alternative materials and methods. ‘I am passionate about Printmaking and believe it offers the artist and student a terrific opportunity for developing and expanding ways of expression and image making.’
